Updated Stats:
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 10~20
Phosphate 2.0~2.5 <== this one went down, but I have more diatoms :( (go figure)
KH 6
GH 8.5~9
Ph 7.9 <=== strange it went up.. usually it drops when injecting CO2

Strange, I wonder if the Phosphates are skewing the CO2 / KH results

Really, really nice! I love the design of your tanks. Especially the one with the "ending." :wink:

Nice plants, by the way.

Thank you! I didn't realize how out of focus it was until just now. When I watched it on my PC it looked fine except for the occasional colour shifting.

It wasn't too bad on my laptop. I noticed it a bit, but for the most part the quality was good.

Regarding the plants ... 50% of those are from online ordering .. java ferns, mosses etc .. 50% are local LFS stuff... quick growing.. lillies, banana plants and a bunch of other unknowns.

I've got 1 set that grew over 2 feet in 2 weeks! Got CO2 and PMDD

I'm guessing the one that grew 2ft is the large green one that is crawling across the substrate of a few of your tanks (I can't remember which and I'm too impatient to wait for the video to load again)?

Ah, that's not the one I was thinking of. It's nice, though.
